Main Ingredients

  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • Olive oil spray For greasing the baking dish

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray an 8×8-inch baking dish with olive oil.

  3. Place the chicken breasts in the baking dish and pour the blended sauce over, coating each piece.
Cooking
  1. Bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the sauce is bubbling.
  2. Let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnishing

Notes

For best results, allow the dish to rest before serving for enhanced flavor. Pair with sides like steamed broccoli or a light salad. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for 3–4 days or freeze in an airtight container. Reheat in the oven for optimal quality.
